Trailer Hitch Pins like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - Flush - 2-5/8" Span - Chrome # e98880 and # e98881 you were looking at do not have a specific weight rating due to them being so much stronger than the rest of the components used for towing.
A hitch pins like the # e98880 and # e98881 will still be holding long after the tow bar, ball mount, or trailer hitch receiver has failed.
As an example a rough sheer strength of a similar 5/8" diameter bolt is nearly 90000lbs, so this hitch pin will hold up to anything you can through at it.
I included a video of the # e98880 for you to take a look at.
